A signed copy of JK Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” is expected to fetch a four-figure sum in Glasgow this week.
The special rehearsal edition, signed by JK Rowling, the play’s director John Tiffany and playwright Jack Thorne, will take centre stage at an auction of rare toys, models and pop culture at McTear’s.
This week’s Steam and Screen: Toys, Models and Pop Culture auction will also offer bidders three sets of costume jewelry worn by pop icon Madonna in the 1996 film Evita.
The 191-lot auction also includes an impressive selection of autographs, including those from celebrities such as Neil Armstrong, Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Connolly.
In addition, film posters for Raging Bull and Blade Runner will be available, signed by A-list celebrities Robert De Niro and Harrison Ford as well as other actors.
The auction’s star-studded offering is complemented by a range of collector model trains and die-cast vehicles. The offer includes 39 locomotives with classic steam trains as well as a range of more modern locomotives and wagons.
James Spiridion, specialist at McTear, commented on the auction: “This auction really has something for every model and pop culture enthusiast.
“Over the past few years, we have seen increasing interest and prices for this type of memorabilia as more and more sellers want to offer pieces for auction.
“Given the variety and quality of the lots on offer, I am sure we are in for a very lively sale.”
The Steam and Screen: Toys, Models and Pop Culture auction takes place at McTear’s on Thursday 20th July. For more information visit www.mctears.co.uk.
